DBZ has the best villains-turned-allies. I don’t think any of them could be considered morally “right” though, so I guess that means Piccolo, Vegeta, Yamcha and Tien all have dumptruck asses in canon.
lit is shown that Frieza demands this, enslaved the saiyans and have pushed them to do his bidding. From what I remember, we pretty much get 0 saipan history pre-frieza minus GT and that’s not canon.
All this to say “he was just following orders” holds up until maybe the cell saga. On namek I can give the man a lot of trauma and brainwashing and child soldier mulligans. Saving cell and letting millions suffer AFTER he’s ‘rehabilitated’ and then does it again for Babidi, THAT makes him a space Hitler Jr

Vegeta is like a little space hitler jr, has committed multiple planet wide genocides and his father King Vegeta wouldn’t have had it any other way.

But he’s got a great mustache
That’s why GT will always be canon to me instead of Super.
I can respect that hot take.

Have you considered The Owl House’s reformed villains? It has 8 of them.
a lot of DBZ chars have low key dumptrucks mainly because they have otherworldly glutes
Duh?
